Autumn's best friend Carri came down to visit us for the week before Thanksgiving. We kicked off day one with a trip to the market to buy groceries for the week, and of course it was Dia de la Revolucion! So, there was a big military parade...something that we've grown accustomed to here I suppose as this is our second one in 4 months! The military equipment was awe-inspiring / frightening as usual, so afterward we took a stroll through the park. While on our walk we stumbled upon a "show" being put on by the Nahua and Totonaco descendants. It was a fertility ritual that apparently is an hourly / daily thing just blocks from our house! Afterward, we headed home for a relaxed evening before our big trip out to the pyramids!
I guess Autumn thought she got a bum deal!
I thought that 5 pesos was pretty good for all those green beans!
Usually this street is choked with honking traffic, so it was fun to wander around in it on this empty Saturday morning.
Checkers or chess anyone?!?
BFF's with their new friend from the top of the Pyramid of the Sun
Carri really was an angel of a house-guest!
Bazookas and tanks and semi-automatic weapons. Oh My!
A slightly less dangerous parader...
The voladores...or "flyers"...we paid them 5 pesos!
Weeeeee.....
